TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS COSta
FROM: Supervisor Gayle B. Uilkema, District 11 g�=� County
c�s�d covN 1
DATE: July 25, 2006
SUBJECT: Draina a Requirements for Single Family Residential Building Permits
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
DIRECT the Community Development, Building Inspection and Public Works Departments
to work with County Counsel and the District 11 Supervisor to draft ordinance amendments
to address the possible impacts from single family residential building permits on natural or
repaired landslide areas.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Minor staff costs for the preparation of a draft ordinance for consideration by the Board of
Supervisors. The costs should be absorbed in existing departmental budgets.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS:
It has come to my attention that at least one city within District II issued building permits for
consecutive single family residential additions without consideration of the cumulative
impacts of the drainage for residential additions on a repaired landslide. In investigating
with the County land development departments, it has been determined that their
administrative systems and ordinance requirements do not at present address the
possibility that serial and/or cumulative drainage from additions to impervious surface due
to building permits for residences or additions are structured to deflect cumulative drainage
to areas away from existing or repaired landslides.
It is my belief that the ordinance should be modified in order to ensure that the public
safety issue inherent in this situation is addressed. The departments have indicated that
they believe that such modifications are feasible through requirements for drainage plans in
appropriate circumstances.
